Chapter 291

confirmation excited Irving even more. He wanted to settle all governmental procedures for Elspeth and fly back to see Edmund right away, but before that, Elspeth would have to stay put. Moreover, Elias’ grandfather’s birthday party was just around the corner. Irving busied himself with the birthday affairs, so Elspeth’s matters were set aside, but since the birthday arrangements were going fast, Elspeth didn’t panic.It was afternoon. Elias came to Elspeth’s room and knocked on the door. Elspeth was trying to establish contact with the Winthrops through her laptop, but Callum’s phone couldn’t be reached, and she didn’t remember anyone else’s number.Callum never changes his number, so I should’ve been able to reach him.
